hi there! perhaps @simon.vergauwen do we know if is there any usage statistics / growth statistics for Arrow that we can quote? e.g. number of maven-central artifact downloads growth month by month perhaps? I’m trying to understand the adoption rate of Arrow libraries..

We’ve had a steady growth in the last years, but in the last 12 months we’ve seen it stay steady at around 4 million downloads. Perhaps also because we’ve not released many versions in the last year, and that results in more caching (?). I cannot go further back than this, but in the previous years we’ve seen a steady 2x increase in downloads.

thank you @simon.vergauwen and @raulraja understood. Yeah caching does dilute the number but it is good enough for an estimate. Actually if we fit a rough trend line, it is actually trending upwards at a healthy rate throughout the year. 🙌
